The phrenic nerves not only have sensory and sympathetic functions, but have a very important function in being the only nerves that control the diaphragm, and hence, breathing. They are also relatively long nerves that travel through areas in the neck and chest that are subject to injury.
Fortunately, newer techniques such as diaphragmatic pacemakers and reconstruction are offering hope that fewer people in the future will need long term mechanical ventilation. Sign up for our Health Tip of the Day newsletter, and receive daily tips that will help you live your healthiest life.

The two phrenic nerves differ in their length, and also in their relations at the upper part of the thorax : The right phrenic nerve is situated more deeply, and is shorter and more vertical in direction than the left; it lies lateral to the right innominate vein and superior vena cava.
The left phrenic nerve is rather longer than the right, from the inclination of the heart to the left side, and from the diaphragm being lower on this than on the right side. At the root of the neck it is crossed by the thoracic duct; in the superior mediastinal cavity it lies between the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries, and crosses superficial to the vagus on the left side of the arch of the aorta.
